Ray Ablack & Cory Lee TeenNick Interview!

The-Mary (or does she just go by Mary now?) from TeenNick visited the Degrassi set and got to talk to Ray Ablack and Cory Lee! She talked to Ray about leaving Degrassi, and also talked with Cory Lee about Ms. Oh and Sav’s new “romance.”

Here’s a few questions from the interview:

Did either of you ever have a crush on a teacher in high school?
CORY: I think it might be more of a guy thing? I didn’t have any crushes on any of my male teachers…
RAY: I totally forgot: Ms. Diaz. She was a science teacher. The last night of the school play, down in the basement there was a big dance for the cast and crew, and she was there chaperoning. And I asked her to dance with me, and she said no. But I had a huge crush on Ms. Diaz.

I can’t believe she said no! Well, I guess I can…
RAY: I think she liked me, that’s why.
CORY: [sad trombone noise]

Degrassi & Skins in Conversation

This week, Toronto Life featured a photo conversation with our own Ray Ablack & Camille Cresencia-Mills from the North American version of Skins. The idea is that both Degrassi and Skins are unique teen dramas that push boundaries and focus on middle class, “normal” teens. Both shows are also filmed in Toronto. The photos are cute!

More From the India Trip

We Day is coming up this week, and as Sam has been informing us on Twitter, the cast wont be speaking at the event this year. Although some of them will be attending! However, in honour of We Day, Much Music is posting more pictures & journal entries from the Degrassi cast’s India trip! The first one comes from Ray who writes about the mixture of emotions he felt on the trip:

The experience was truly uncensored. We saw the raw reality every day. We learned about social issues and the current goings-on in India. We visited and took part in sacred ceremonies at renowned temples and the list goes on and on. My cast mates, and more importantly, friends, worked hard, laughed hard, cried hard, played hard and slept soundly.

Check out the Much blog to read more. There is also a bunch of new pictures posted there, as well as a video in which the cast tells us one word to describe the trip.

Degrassi Cast Answers Your Questions

Alloy.com has been collecting your questions to the Degrassi cast and now they have answered! Melinda, Sam, Ray, and Charlotte all answer questions on their favourite character, cast friendships, and more! Sam even gives this perfect analysis about his character KC:

What is your favorite thing about your character?

Sam: I love the fact that K.C. is always a little difficult to read. At first it seems like a quiet confidence surrounds him, but gradually we discover that this is partially a facade that distracts and allows him to bury certain profound vulnerabilities. It’s taking him a long time to get past all his self consciousness in order to figure out who he really is. He’s getting here, and I enjoy that complexity and the layers that are revealed in that journey.

Charlotte & Ray Talk to CosmoGirl

Ray and Charlotte have each done individual interviews with CosmoGirl which are viewable on their website. The interviews talk about the usual season 10 spoilers, but Ray & Charlotte also tell us a few inside stories and tidbits. Ray also gushes about Celine Dion:

CG: When did you start singing?
RA: My favorite singer, and you’re going to just cringe, is Celine Dion. A lot of Canadians don’t like Celine Dion, but I love her. My mom and I love Celine Dion. She was my first concert ever. Then I saw Titanic when I was really young and at my grade three talent show, I sang “My Heart Will Go On.” Actually, I went up with a puppet, and I did a comedy routine first. Then I sang “My Heart Will Go On” and won the talent show.

Gotta love him for that! Read Ray’s interview right here and Charlotte’s over here.
